Has there ever been a coach?

[UKFAN4L]

Leave after winning a NCAA D1 championship in basketball, football, or baseball?
How about NBA, NFL, or MLB?
How about leaving after back-to-backs in any of those?

Wooden

 

[JHB4UK]

Jim Harbaugh literally just left Michigan

Pitino left UK in 1997 after just barely missing out on two national championships in a row. And he would have still left had he actually won it in 1997.

Good call. What about from college to college? Or from one NBA team to another? Probably should’ve specified that.

Wooden

I guess….he retired after his last title, right?

Jay Wright

It wasn't immediate.

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

Wright retired after a final four, not a title.

but the correct question is has a coach ever left for another college job immediately after winning the title. Wooden retired..... and others have left for the pro's but no one has ever moved to another college job that very off season.

Roy would have but Syracuse blocked the shot.

But Roy would have been going home.

The social media brain.

The social media brain.

Literally, as in straight to the NFL so the next guy can handle the allegations.

 

[Mike-McD]

It wasn't immediate.

Yeah but he had just won two titles in a few years. And he wasn't declining. He went out on top.

I can’t remember his name but the coach ofMichigans Fab 5 left

All I can say glad Cal is gone, looking forward to watching a real coach again.

Johnny Majors left Pittsburgh to go to Tennessee.
Howard Schnellengber was out a year after Miami before going to Louisville in the 80s.
